Tripping Billy in a Nut Shell


About the Band

The band started around March of '97.Three of the band members Gavin(lead guitar),Ricky(percussion) and Danial(rythm guitar/vocals) had already been playing together for about 10 months before Mathew(bass guitar) joined in March.Like most great bands they were a band before any of them could play and instrument. The band met up with Dan Joffe on mirc and he came to watch them paly at a house party.Thanks to his guidance they made the transition from playing house parties to the gig circuit.Just to see how effciant Dan joffe was, he got them to play with Squeal at there very first gig atroxy's. Since then they have played with many gr8 venues with some of the top south african bands such as:
Wonderboom(a band favourite).......................Wings
Sugardrive.....................................................Roxy's
Wendy Oldfield.............................................206
Squeal..........................................................Roxy's
Some other great bands:
Fuzy Gish, Ethel My Love, Mao, Acoustic Kitchen and many others... Watch out for them in the future.
Watch out Just Jinger you got competition!
